The death of Diego Armando Maradona continues to cause different voices to sound months after his death; and while the legal process against him doctor Leopoldo Luque and psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov continues his process, a close friend of Pelusa, revealed what the Argentine star told him the last time they saw each other.

‘HE ASKED ME NOT TO LEAVE HIM, NOT TO LEAVE HIM ALONE’

Mariano Israelit, who struck up a friendship with Diego since 1995, gave an interview for him Olé newspaper in Argentina, in which he said that in March 2020, before the pandemic began, Maradona asked him and Mariano Castro, Maradona’s doctor during his stay in Cuba, that they should not abandon him and did not leave him alone.

All this, in conjunction with the audios that came to light between the neurologist Leopoldo Luque and the psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, where they talked about the treatment of Maradona.

“It’s very painful to hear all this (his voice breaks). The last time I saw him was in early March, before the pandemic started, and when we were leaving he told me: ‘don’t abandon me, don’t leave me alone’. Those were his words. The last words he said to me personally. And I left with a chill down my spine. I could not believe it”.

SURROUNDINGS OF MARADONA CHANGED THE PHONE NUMBER

Israelit, who lived with Maradona in Cuba during his drug addiction rehab stage, revealed that in recent times, It was very difficult to reach Diego, since his phone number was constantly being changed.

“If the daughters found it difficult … When we had the phone, we passed it to each other because it was very difficult to talk to him. For example: I went to lunch on a Sunday, something that I arranged several days in advance, and I told : ‘Hey, you didn’t answer yesterday’s message, but since you didn’t write to me, we came anyway.’ And he answered that nothing had come to him and when he showed me his cell phone we realized that he already had another number. They had changed it, it was all like that. We would have liked to see it more, but if we didn’t see it it was because they put a filter on us and they wouldn’t let us in. ”

Finally, Israelit reiterated what weeks later also came to light, that the people who took care of Maradona kept him drunk every time his daughters or friends visited him.
